Hoover is an unincorporated community in Gray County, Texas, United States.[1]
Established in 1887 on the Panhandle and Santa Fe Railway, Hoover is named form businessman and landowner Harvey E. Hoover. A post office opened in January 1910, with E. D. McClain becoming postmaster, until it closed in 1914, but reopened in 1915 until closure in 1972. It was a shipping point for cattle drovers during the 1920s, and oil was discovered in the 1930s. From the 1940s, the town declined, and as of 2000, the population was 5.[2] [3]
